Scott Watkins, 6140 140~ Lane N.W., stated it doesn't seem like good government to change to <br />medium or high density. As far as traffic, about 2,000 people are estimated to be in there with <br />570 in single family homes. He stated he is opposed to the change. <br /> <br />Julie Horn, 6031 145th Lane stated she would like single family homes to be built. Housing units <br />or townhomes do not fit the neighborhood. Single family homes will be better for traffic and <br />safety. <br /> <br />Sandy Bertzyk, 6001 146th Avenue NW, stated she received 95 signatures against the <br />townhomes going in. She noted that people within 300 feet get noticed. When she traced the <br />signatures on the petition, 51 had signed the petition. They signed with truth in hand, she said. <br />If she had more time, she stated she could have had more signatures. Ms. Horn distributed <br />copies of the petitions that were received by the Mayor. <br /> <br />A resident at 6121 145th Lane stated he would like to keep the density as single family in this <br />area. He said he lived in Coon Rapids 5 years ago. While living there, they fought the issue of <br />townhomes going in, but they did go in. As he goes back to that neighborhood, he said he is glad <br />they moved out. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he agreed that once the land is reclassified, it leaves too many issues <br />unaddressed. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Sweet to keep the low density <br />residential designation for the Kurak Property II North and South of Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated he doesn't have a problem with this and would expect that if an <br />appropriate design comes in, it could be changed to medium density. The property is going to be <br />developed. As it gets developed, we will be open to some density discussion that could <br />anticipate a heavier density at some point. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Sweet, Brauer, Johnson, and <br />Kociscak. Voting No: Commissioner Reeve. Abstain: Commissioner Watson. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Brauer to approve the text amendments <br />to the Comprehensive Plan as proposed. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Brauer, Johnson, Kociscak, <br />Reeve, Sweet, and Watson. Voting No: None.
